November 2, 2016 By Gwen Brown 22 Comments

healthy sugar free peanut butter fudge that's SO easy to make...you won't believe that it didn't come from a candy shoppe!

This Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge is going to save me this holiday season. They taste like something naughty and decadent out of that little candy shop that you passed on vacation. But these little treats are full of nourishing (think bulletproof!) fats, and protein, making them a perfect little pick me up treat. And they’re JUST…

These scrumptious blueberry cheesecake muffins are sugar free, and perfect for breakfast, a snack, or for dessert.

Blueberry Cheesecake Muffins, y’all! Hello to cheesecake for breakfast. 🙂 This wonderful revelation of a recipe is a recent discovery, pulled directly (and with permission) from the Brainy Breakfasts Cookbook by Tricia Gilkerson.

This decadent peppermint fudge recipe will blow your mind...it's incredibly creamy, but sugar free, and packed with healthy fats like bulletproof coffee! Click here for the recipe...

This peppermint fudge recipe will blow your mind. It doesn’t taste healthy…it tastes like it came out of one of those overpriced vacation fudge shops. BUT, it’s actually sugar free, full of healthy fats, and it’s raw/uncooked, so it’s very, very easy to make. It’s a twist on an older coconut oil fudge recipe that…

Feast Cookbook is Here!

January 25, 2016 By Gwen Brown 32 Comments

the Feast cookbook is all about enjoying healthy traditional dishes that are GF/Sugar free/carb smart and THM friendly!

It’s here! I couldn’t be more excited. Last year I realized that as much as I’m committed to eating healthy and staying sugar free and carb smart with my meal choices (and my Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle), that I was giving myself permission to cheat over the holiday season FAR too frequently. I hate losing traction…

Fresh Start Strawberry Smoothie

December 28, 2015 By Gwen Brown 4 Comments

My favorite FRESH start smoothie recipe- sugar free, packed with protein, and SUPER yum!!!

This strawberry smoothie recipe is my reset button. I developed this recipe last year when I started on my protocols with Dr. Rob for my adrenal fatigue issues. At one point in my protocol, I was supposed to drink a green smoothie every three hours for three days, and then until day 14, I was…

Christmas Sugar Cookie Recipe – GF & SF

December 21, 2015 By Gwen Brown 43 Comments

My regular Christmas sugar cookie recipe is totally out of this world good, and SO not on my diet. But we’ve been doing homemade sugar cookies, and sugar cookies frosting parties on Christmas Eve since my baby girl was born, 16 years ago. So we keep the tradition, and I *ahem* attempt to rely on my willpower…

Gingerbread Milkshake

December 9, 2015 By Gwen Brown 22 Comments

Baby, it’s cold outside! So WHY am I making a milkshake? Because it’s a gingerbread milkshake! That makes it a seasonal flavor, and totally legit. Just like my Frozen Eggnog Milkshake that’s my other favorite this time of year. And yeah…even the Peppermint Chip counts too. Anything that keeps me out of the drive through…
